Steve Treatment and Nikki Sudden met in 1976 and spent the greater part of 1977-78 hanging around together at Marc Bolan's headquarters in New Bond Street, seeing bands, and dressing up and busking with 'Christeen' Isherwood at the Gloucester Road tube station, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and the Park Lane Hilton, before Steve recorded his first EP, backed by the Swell Maps - on their Rather label.
The LP insert comes with liner notes (9000+ words) drawn from Steve's diaries, fresh recollections from Christine Isherwood and Nick Welsh [later Selecter, Bad Manners], gleanings from Nikki's memoirs, plus dozens of never-before-seen color photos, photo-booth strips, and other artifacts to accompany Steve's colorful interactions with Marc Bolan, the 'Maps, the Moors Murderers, Derek Jarman, Captain Sensible, assorted Blitz Kids, and many others. Essential DIY. "All my songs are 'A' sides." -S.T.
The ST LP (and the Psykik Volts 45) kick off Messthetics' long-planned partnership with Munster Records, with muchmuch more vinyl to come!
LPs will be sent sealed unless you ask that the disk be separated from the jacket so that seams do not split in the mail. Priority Mail postage to the West Coast of the US is now $9.95: customers from the Midwest and Northeast will be refunded $2-4 for any extra savings. (We can ship LPs outside North America, but, frankly, it will be cheaper and faster if you order it in Euros from our partners at Munster. Thanks!)
Sample tracks (somewhat scruffier audio from the old 2xCDR):
'Danger Zone'
'Tempest Fashion Baby'
'Heaven Knows'
'Carve My Name'
Steve Treatment completists may still require the 25 'A' Sides / Your Friends Are In The News' double CDR which features an ear-boggling 140+ minutes of ST (including most of the LP tracks, although the mastering's a little more primitive on those), and later highlights up through the early 1990s. You may add one to your LP order for $10 (pay the full $14 and then choose 'no postage required for this order" instead of regular media mail shipping). More recent ST efforts are on the celebrated Topplers label.

FACETIME- Chinn up: Keeping the SNL train running
Mike Chinn says his job is to hire and keep the brightest people. As someone who took the helm of a company with $70 million in revenues at the age of 29, he falls into the whiz kid category himself.
"I'm a man of the people," says Chinn in his unadorned second-floor corner office of SNL Financial, a room redolent of Wendy's fried chicken. "We're not too swanky," he explains.
Chinn started at SNL in 1994, three weeks out of UVA with history and economics majors, the latter an afterthought. "I thought I needed something to look good on my resumé," he says.
Around 2000, he says, SNL founder Reid Nagle decided he didn't want to be as involved in day-to-day operations, and he tapped Chinn to be president.
"He focuses on the big and small issues," says Chinn. "I focus on the middle."
"Mike, who's both smart and even-keeled, operates in the middle," confirms Nagle, "and manages all aspects of the company. He brings a sense of cohesion, vision, and collegiality...."
Chinn, 34, looks like the golf pro he once dreamed of being, and he's one of the few males wearing a collared shirt the day the Hook visits SNL. But make no mistake. Despite their laid-back attire, SNL employees, Chinn says, "have to have intensity that belies the flip-flops and t-shirts."
After all, they're dealing with Wall Street.
He clarifies a common misperception about the company. "People think we're a securities firm or a brokerage or a money management firm," he explains. "People who do that are our clients. It probably is because the name was SNL Securities" before it became SNL Financial.
Another alleged misimpression: that SNL is a "sweatshop" where the people work long, long hours. "That's a relic of when SNL was younger," says Chinn. "People worked a lot of hours, and you get burned out."
He estimates he logs between 10 and 11 hours a day. Work and two young children limit his time on the golf course to about once a month.
With SNL growing 25 to 35 percent a year, Chinn's challenge is "managing growth, not figuring out how to grow," he says.
The biggest lesson he's learned as SNL president: "The right people make all the difference," he says. "It's just huge."
That's why he's on the second floor instead of on the fifth with Nagle. "I try to spend as much time with people as I can," he says, and by that he means employees, not clients. "I try to go out to lunch a couple of times a week with junior people. There's a tremendous need for bright people. I never want to lose them. And I try to figure out who the rising stars are."
How to tell if you're a rising star at SNL? "Only the real stars," he joshes, "get to go to Wendy's."

Son of Dracula is a musical comedy film released in 1974 by Apple Films, starring Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr. It is also the title of a Harry Nilsson album released in conjunction with the film. It includes Nilsson songs that were showcased in the film as well as portions of dialogue, used as bridging sequences. All song tracks with the exception of "Daybreak" are from Nilsson Schmilsson (1971) and Son of Schmilsson (1972), albums previously released.
Ringo Starr appears as Merlin the Magician, who follows the birth and rise of young Count Downe, played by Harry Nilsson. Starr and Nilsson were longtime friends, and Starr had played drums on Son of Schmilsson, which had spoofed horror movie motifs. A year or so later, Starr decided to make a rock and roll Dracula movie, and invited Nilsson to come on board. Nilsson thought at first the whole idea came from his recent album; as it turned out, Starr hadn't followed its release, and until then-wife Maureen brought him a copy, he didn't even know Nilsson had already used a similar theme.
Making the movie, both Nilsson and Starr came to realise it wasn't going to be a great piece of cinematic art, though they still enjoyed their time on the set. After its release, not even wooden stakes were needed to put the movie in its coffin, seemingly once and for all. Showings over the years have been limited to midnight movies and similar outlets, no official home video release has ever been made, and reviewers including Leonard Maltin have little positive to say about the film.
The LP release of the soundtrack album included a T-shirt iron-on advertising the movie, and a companion songbook included a reproduction of the movie poster. The single version of "Daybreak" edited out the words "it's pissing me off" (referring to daylight), repeating the lyric "it's making me cough" instead, and the fadeout is longer than in any LP or CD release of the song. ("Daybreak" was covered later by Nilsson friend and former Monkee Micky Dolenz.)
Keith Moon, legendary drummer of English rock band the Who, as well as John Bonham, legendary drummer of Led Zeppelin, make appearances in the film, drumming in the Count's band. Among the notables credited on the album were George Harrison and Peter Frampton, the later appearing courtesy of A&M Records. Klaus Voorman, who worked frequently with The Beatles, also played bass on many of the songs.
The story follows a motley group of characters, including Count Downe, who is a vampire dreaming of immortality. Just when he think it's safe to be a living dead fiend, he is approached about getting his life changed from a vampire to normal life by Dr. Van Helsing (Dennis Price), who claims he can help the Count become human. Other characters include a rock band, Baron Frankenstein (Freddie Jones) and a girl named Amber (Suzanna Leigh).
It is unknown if the film will ever come out officially on DVD. Harry Nillson brought a VHS copy of the film to show at the 1982 New Jersey Beatlefeast convention to be shown only at a special Friday night party that Convention host Mark Lapidos gives for the convention guests and vendors. Most party attendees ignored the film. According to journalist Peter Palmiere, Ringo has said in the late 1980s that he had a copy of the video lying on top of his TV set, but couldn't bear to look at it.

Salvage Decor Wedding
A Salvage Chic Wedding
A Salvage Chic Wedding
Here's a post from Nancy from the Lovely Little Vignettes group.
My friends Kevin and Joy recently got married at Architectural Artifacts in Chicago, an incredible 80,000-square-foot store/event space specializing in antiques, found objects, architectural salvage, and all sorts of other treasures. As a shopper, I highly recommend it, but it was also an awesome place to have a wedding. I helped with the centerpieces, and the store let us pluck from the inventory to create these found-object arrangements. I couldn't resist buying one of the pieces, an antique mold for making doll heads. Click through to see the awesome space and decor.

- 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup blueberries, or raspberries, or blackberries, or any combination, rinsed well and patted dry
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup chopped roasted pecans
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Grease a 10-inch cake pan with the tablespoon of butter, and lightly dust with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a mixer on high speed.
Into a separate bowl, sift all the dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients in three stages into the butter, alternating with the eggs one at a time, beating after the addition of each. Fold the sour cream into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and arrange the berries evenly over the top.
To make the streusel topping, place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the top of the berries. Bake in the oven until golden brown and risen, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

I've got a wife, two kids and budgie ... stuck on my car
THREE cats eh…you're going to die alone and angry.
And you own horses…are you wearing jodhpurs now?
Four kids…perhaps you should have invested in a TV rather than the stickers on your car's back window.
The My Family sticker phenomenon shows no sign of abating.
Millions have been sold across the nation and in the process created an Australian divide.
People either love them or loathe them and there are even Facebook sites voicing their hatred.
The figurines have even created an anti My Family sticker collection.
One of the latest sees figurines burning with the slogan "what happened to your stick family", another says "my dog ate your stick family" with a pooch chasing two adults and children.
Academic and social commentator Karen Brooks said those who detest the family stickers see them as a form of narcissism that is creeping into culture saying "look at mooooiii".
"I think it is indicative of a shifting culture where we are far more out there about ourselves and we like to make pronouncements and announcements," she said
"It's Facebook culture where we are really in your face about ourselves, about our lives and our families, and we think everything is important.
"We have often used our cars as billboards, from political stickers to sporting teams.
"Whoever invented My Family stickers are very clever because they latched onto what is another form of social media."
The My Family business has a staunch following on Facebook and regularly interacts with fans about events and relationships - while there is even an app which fosters "conversation for family fun and memories".
But the loathers remain vocal in their unhappiness.
On the "I hate My Family Stickers" Facebook page, one of the posts says "these stickers make me feel sick! Especially when they have like guinea pigs and stuff…or even worse…just one person!".
While "What's the point of these stickers anyway? Is it just to show the world that they're fertile? Who cares!" seemed to capture the haters's mood.

No. 1 UConn women cruise past Rutgers
Recommended Video:
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Bria Hartley acknowledged she is a streaky shooter. She had one of her good days against Rutgers.
The senior guard scored a career-high 30 points, including hitting six 3-pointers, to lead top-ranked Connecticut to a 94-64 win over No. 23 Rutgers on Sunday.
"If I hit them I keep going, if I miss them all I keep going," Hartley said. "I've got to stay with my shot and I'll be confident that I'll eventually make them."
Hartley didn't miss too many, making 11 of her 15 attempts. The last time she played at Rutgers, she had a game to forget, going scoreless in just four minutes. Hartley wasn't the only Huskies player hitting shots. The team shot a blistering 57 percent from the field.
"I think offensively we all were on the same page and had a really good flow the entire game," Hartley said. "The mixture of shots inside and outside and everyone was able to hit shots."
UConn (19-0, 6-0 American) has won 25 straight games, the sixth longest streak in school history.
The Huskies raced out to an 18-6 lead in the game's first five minutes. Breanna Stewart had eight of the team's first 18 points as Connecticut didn't miss many from the field. UConn extended the advantage to 41-20 on the 6-foot-4 sophomore's layup with 4:58 left before Rutgers closed the half with a 9-2 burst to trail 43-29 at the half.
"We got such great balance, Stewie and Stef (Dolson) kept things together," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "It was a great team effort, everyone played great."
Rutgers (13-4, 4-2) cut it to 12 before UConn put it away behind Stewart and Hartley. Stewart finished with 23 points.
Freshman Tyler Scaife scored a season-high 22 points and Kahleah Copper added 20 for the Scarlet Knights.
UConn was still playing without sophomore forward Morgan Tuck, who is dealing with swelling in her right knee. It will be the 11th game this season that she has missed due to knee-related issues, including the last three.
This could be the final meeting in New Jersey for the two schools as Rutgers is headed to the Big Ten next season. Both coaches have hinted they wouldn't mind seeing the series continue.
"It's not to say it's last time we'll be down here," Auriemma said. "I talk to Vivian about this kind of stuff. I don't imagine it will be last time down here. It's good to bring your team down here in this kind of environment."
UConn has dominated the series winning 31 of the 37 meetings, though Rutgers did win five of eight from 2005 and 2008. The Huskies have won the last 11 games.
"It's Connecticut, and it's everybody else," Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said. "Whether people want to do deal with it or not. It's Connecticut and everyone else. Talent wise it's clear they are there. Coaching wise it's clear they are there."
Rutgers, which entered the Top 25 this week for the first time since the final poll of the 2011-12 season, has dropped two straight overall after its nine-game winning streak ended. That was the school's longest since the Scarlet Knights won 12 in a row from Dec. 8, 2007 to Jan. 26, 2008. Rutgers was once again done in by a lack of contribution from its bench. The Scarlet Knights reserves didn't score in the loss to Memphis on Tuesday and got their first point on a free throw with 13:42 left in the game. They finished with three points.
In the first half Scaife had 15 points and Copper had 10. The rest of the team was a combined 2 for 11 from the field.
With the Huskies playing on Sunday, this year will mark the first time since 1995 that UConn didn't play on Martin Luther King's birthday.

Ten days ago I spent a weekend in the northern rain teaching people how to mow grass with a scythe. I've been using a scythe for four or five years, though it's only in the last year or so that I've got any good at it. I began using one because I wanted to cut the grass in my orchard without using smelly, noisy, petrolly power tools, and also because I had come across the great Simon Fairlie and his persuasive addiction to these ancient and mesmerising tools.
Scything, largely thanks to Simon, is undergoing a renaissance in Britain. Scythes were used here from Anglo-Saxon times right up until the 1940s, initially to mow grass for haymaking and later also to mow cereal crops. They were operated by large mowing teams in the summer months and they were, and are, a terrific example of what used to be called 'appropriate technology.' The wooden handles, known as snaths, can be made anywhere there are trees by any competent woodworker, and the blades can be made by any blacksmith. They're a genuinely pre- and post-modern tool, and will doubtless be around long after the Flymo has faded into legend. Keep the blade honed and peened, and know how to use them, and you have probably the most efficient and effective tool for cutting grass ever developed. This is proven entertainingly year after year at the Somerset Scythe Festival where the annual 'scythe versus strimmer' contest is always won by the scythe.
Like many other rural crafts, scything pretty much died out in Britain after the second world war, though this was not the case in many other European countries. In eastern Europe, mowing grass with scythes is still very widely practised, and both skills and tools are passed on from generation to generation. Even Western Europe still has a working scythe culture. Here in Britain, as in so much else, we are both ahead and behind: industrial revolution and enclosure rendered our fields empty and our slums full long before this happened anywhere else, and one of the consequences has been the widespread death both of small-scale agriculture and of the crafts, skills and ways of seeing associated with it.
Simon Fairlie has effectively kick-started a reinvention of scything in Britain by importing, selling and teaching the use of scythes manufactured by the 600-year-old Schröckenfux company in Austria. It was the use of the Austrian scythe that I was teaching at the Cumbrian Scythe Festival. Austrian scythes are terrific, lightweight instruments, with a vast array of interchangeable blades, that can be used for anything from mowing your lawn to harvesting wheat to trimming grass around trees on a forty five degree slope. As I say, there is a quiet renaissance going on as a result of the use of these instruments. Landowning charities and local authorities are starting to use scythes rather than strimmers to manage their grasslands, and thousands of people like me are using them privately. But what I saw at the Cumbrian scything event was something I had never seen before, which brought home to me the real meaning of the reinvention of tradition.
The people engaged in the sycthing renaissance in Britain are largely – though not entirely – people with no background in this tradition. Often they are middle class back-to-the-landers, pemaculture enthusiasts, smallholders, environmentalists and the like. They – we – are part of a movement which is attempting to re-learn land-based and practical skills that have been lost, both because it's fascinating and enjoyable and because it seems increasingly obvious that such skills are going to be where it's at in a post-industrial future. We are starting in this, many of us, from zero. Before I got my own Austrian blade I had never picked up a scythe before, and never thought about doing so. Like many, I was converted when I did. But I was converted to a tradition other than my own.
The kind of scythe we new-wavers use is not the kind traditionally used in these islands. British scythes are quite different to their European counterparts. The blades are heavy and stamped rather than light and hammered, and the snaths are thicker, weightier and more elegantly curved. They're heavier, less adaptable and seemingly harder to use, particularly for women – scything in the pre-modern era in Britain was exclusively men's work. For all these reasons, the old English scythe (and indeed the Scottish scythe, which is something else again) has been largely overlooked by the new-wavers. I've seen a few people use them, and have tried myself, but it's always slower and harder work. Until ten days ago, I was much happier with my more adaptable, sleeker imports. But then I met Jim.
Jim farms Herdwick sheep over at Millom on the west coast. He's a traditional Cumbrian farmer, from a Cumbrian farming family. He's no-nonsense, wry and deeply practical. Jim turned up at the scything festival with an English scythe he had inherited from his father. He came because he still uses it on his farm, mainly to dock thistles, but knows few other farmers who do, and wanted to see what we were all about. In a Langdale meadow, in the middle of a downpour, Jim showed us, quietly and simply, how an English scythe is supposed to be used.
It was, for me, a revelation. Jim was a natural. In his hands, this heavy, tough old tool was wielded with efective simplicity. It cut through the grass easily, and left a beautiful swath of lawnmower quality. Jim simply turned up and got on with cutting a whole strip of meadow, and gradually the rest of us stopped what we were doing and watched him. When he'd finished he smiled triumphantly and told us that these fancy foreign scythes were not a patch on the real thing.
Talking to Jim afterwards I learned a lot I didn't know about how English scythes are and were used, and I'm now caught up in a desire to get my own and learn how to use it. I may even pluck up the courage to seek Jim out and ask him to teach me – if he has time, which farmers rarely do. But I learned something else too, and it was about the difference between an inherited and a learned tradition. Watching Jim cut that meadow was like hearing a snatch of old song that I dimly recognised but could never learn to sing. The man was part of a living tradition. He may be at the end of it, but it can still be found, even here, even now. He had learned his skills from his father, who had done the same. The same tool had been passed on, along with the knowledge of how to use it. The connection, between generations and within communities, was part of what Jim brought to that weekend.
That connection is part, I think, of what we look for when we try to revive these old skills. Yes, we want to learn all sort of practical things that we think will be of use to us, and we talk a lot about peak oil and climate change and all the rest of it, but at least part of what we are doing is trying, clumsily but genuinely, to fit ourselves back into a broken lineage. But we can never do it; the links were severed long ago. We are the deracineated generations: we can sense what we've lost, but it's only when we see it in action that it really bubbles to the surface.
Yesterday I was up in Scotland at the Big Tent Festival, which is full of people working hard to reinvent these ways of life, or to build on them: permaculturists, green woodworkers, low-impact housebuilders, grassland management charities, spinners and weavers and organic food growers. Alastair McIntosh was speaking there about resilient communities, and was talking about his childhood on the Hebridean island of Lewis. Alastair grew up at the end of a dying tradition, and he spoke powerfully about it. As a child, he explained, he was taken out fishing in small boats by his 'elders' and taught how to bring in mackerel and herring from the bay. When the boat landed he would walk home, distributing the fish around the village as he did so. It was a close-knit community in which skills and stories were passed on down the generations.
Most of that is gone now. The island is full of people from elsewhere in Scotland and elsewhere in the world, supermarkets on the mainland provide the mainstay of most people's diets and the young are not taught to take the fishing boats out by their elders anymore. Even if they were, they would catch nothing, for the bays around Lewis have been emptied of fish by industrial trawlers.
What is lost when these skills are not passed on, when the links are broken? Not just the skills themselves, some of which are useful and some less so, but a deep sense of inter-generational community, of being part of a human lineage, in time and in place. What comes instead are new kinds of 'community' – atomised individuals and nuclear families, surfing a world of astonishing 'choice' within their 'communities of interest'. One of Alastair's contentions is that planning for a different future is not simply a case of thinking about tools, fuels or housebuilding techniques, but crucially depends upon building resilience both into real, geographical communities and into the human spirit; resilient human communities are the rock on which everything else is built.
For me, seeing Jim and his scythe at work spoke of something more than ways of cutting grass. It spoke of the broken links that got us here. We can never re-forge them, but we can try to remember them, and we can pass on what we still can. We can also look wider and deeper, beyond where we are and beyond our own background and assumptions and circles of friends and acquaintances, for what still remains, and listen to what it has to say to us. Or, as Alastair put it to me: 'seek out the elders, and ask them.'

Pagels' "Revelations": "Too Jewish" Means Not "Christian"?
by: Wes Howard-Brook on May 4th, 2012 | 5 Comments »
A perhaps surprising bestseller right now is a biblical scholar's take on the Christian Bible's final book: the "Apocalypse," aka, "Revelation." As someone who has done my own writing on this dramatic text (see Unveiling Empire: Reading Revelation Then and Now [1999]), it is exciting to see this fascinating book put into popular, intelligent discussion. However, a recent interview with the author, Princeton professor Elaine Pagels, made the hair on my neck stand up and my heart pound.
Pagels' argument seems to be that the book of Revelation is not "Christian" because it is "too Jewish." She positions the author, John of Patmos, as someone seeking to preserve a "Jewish" way of life over against the supposedly less Jewish approach of the apostle Paul. And given this premise, she concludes that Revelation became part of the canonical New Testament by "mistake."
I'll put aside the fact that Pagels has spent much of her scholarly career seeking to raise the status of the so-called "gnostic gospels" over that of the canonical ones. What I'm concerned with here is her juxtaposition of "too Jewish" with "not Christian."
There has been a mountain of excellent biblical scholarship in recent decades by both Jewish and Christian writers showing the impossibility of understanding Jesus of Nazareth apart from the core reality that he was completely immersed in the scriptural tradition of ancient Israel. Contrary to the some-times explicit and often implicit anti-Jewish ideology of many pre-Holocaust German scholars, more recent work has largely overcome the dichotomous thinking that seeks to separate "Jews" from "Christians" in the writings of the New Testament. Daniel Boyarin, for instance, has written insistently that the "parting of the ways" didn't really take place for centuries after the life of Jesus. Similarly, Amy-Jill Levine has written of Jesus as the "misunderstood Jew." From the other end of the bridge, renowned Christian scholar, Brigette Kahl, has powerfully shown how the "law" that Paul was juxtaposing with the Gospel of Jesus was not torah at all, but Roman law.
As someone who seeks to claim both my Jewish upbringing and my love for Jesus, I find Pagels' approach deeply disturbing. The message of Revelation is a powerful, hope-filled call to "come out" of allegiance to death-dealing, idolatrous empires and find life and joy in the God-given gift of the holy city, New Jerusalem. Yes, the book is filled with lurid images of violence. They flow out of the deeply Jewish apocalyptic tradition that stubbornly insisted on God's exclusive sovereignty in the face of human usurpers. Revelation unveils the consequences of relying on human-made systems of power that are grounded in violence and exploitation of the poor and the earth. It proclaims the possibility of a renewed relationship among all God's creatures, where harmony and true peace abound in God-given abundance.
That Pagels' popular book calls for the removal of this wondrous text from the New Testament reveals a lot about her own preferences. I hope, however, it will not serve to undo the great work done by many scholars, activists, rabbis, and ministers to heal the centuries of unnecessary pain and suffering that flow from putting "Christian" over against "Jewish." If we are seeking to join forces in a spiritually grounded movement that opposes "empire" with more life-giving options, we need biblical scholarship that continues to build bridges, not to tear them down.

Isn't this the most delicious picture you've EVER seen? Introducing The McGhee Sextuplets—Rozonno Jr., Isaac, Josiah, Elijah, Madison and Olivia—the four sons and two daughters of Mia and Rozonno McGhee. They look beautiful here, but so much better on the all new MyBrownBaby.com. CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS POST ABOUT THE MCGHEE SEXTUPLETS ON MYBROWNBABY.COM.
The babies were born in June and, after a several-months-long stay at the hospital, arrived to their Columbus, Ohio home in September. They are the first set of sextuplets to be born in Columbus, and only the second set in all of Ohio.
I do remember a time when the birth of this many babies at once was celebrated with a lifetime supply of diapers, formula, baby wipes, at least one super-sized mini-van, college scholarships and lots of cash money, dollar bills, y'all, from every baby company, TV station, and good-hearted person on the planet. I also remember that this kind of benevolence always seemed to be reserved for the Gosselins and Duggars and McCaugheys of the world, never for children who look like The McGhees.
Seems things ain't changed with these chocolate beauties, either.
Stories abound that when the McGhee sextuplets were born, they got six Buckeyes onesies from Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee, and a certificate from the Columbus City Council honoring them as the city's first set of sextuplets. Six onesies and a piece of paper.
Long. Blank. Stare.
A few more donations flowed in after the Columbus Dispatch did a story about the McGhees taking their six babies back to their two-bedroom home virtually empty-handed. Mia McGhee, who quit her job to care for her children while her husband makes a living from a self-owned carpet cleaning business, said she was "staying positive" and simply "happy" to finally "have a family."
Now, I was hopping all over the internet yesterday, reading stories about the family and particularly all the scary, jacked-up messages people were leaving in the comments sections (which can be almost as scary as a Klan rally). Folks were going IN on the family, saying they were looking for handouts and that they shouldn't have had all those babies if they couldn't take care of them, and that they should have saved up if they knew they had six kids coming, and telling them that they should go on welfare and stop begging—blah, blah, blah. What you should know, though, is that this couple got pregnant with their six babies while taking fertility drugs; their doctor suggested it after they had premature twins whom died after birth. When their doctor revealed there were six eggs in Mia's womb and offered to "reduce" the number, the McGhees didn't have the heart to abort any of their babies. So, despite the risk that they could lose them all, the couple chose to keep each and every one of their children, and each of them made it into this world.
And the McGhees haven't asked anyone for so much as a baby wipe.
Personally, though, I feel like they deserve so much more. Pampers? Johnson & Johnson? Abbott (the makers of Similac)? Toyota? Maybe y'all could scare up some of what the other families got when they produced their own Miracle Six families. Maybe Ohio State could take back those onesies and offer to let each of the McGhee children attend college for free when they graduate high school.
Maybe you and I could help these beautiful brown babies not only survive, but thrive.
To help out the family, you can make monetary donations to "The McGhee Trust Fund" at any Chase Bank location. Non-monetary donations can be sent to: IMPACT Attn: Tracy Taylor 700 Bryden Road, Columbus, OH 43205. You can also "like" the McGhee family's FaceBook page to show your support, send your well-wishes, and keep up with their story.
Need inspiration? Go back to the top of this post and look at those angelic little brown faces again. Good grief, the McGhees do good work, don't they? God bless them—one and all.

Garlic Parmesan Croutons, My Beyoncé Imitation, and How Did Cesar's Salad Become Caesar Salad?
When I have a chance to turn on the video recorder, I will, and this crouton how-to is an example. During normal times I'd probably not wake up inspired to film croutons, but hey, it's better than another talking plate clip from YouTube.
In addition to what may be a useful recipe for some number of you, you'll get my first and last Beyonce tribute. Sources deep within the music industry tipped me off she was planning a parody of my chicken wing video, so I wanted to strike the first blow.
Speaking of blow, virtually all salad dressing historians claim Caesar salad was invented in 1924 by Cesar Cardini in Tijuana, Mexico. It doesn't appear on any written menus or cookbooks until decades later, and when it does, it's called the "Caesar."
What happened? I realize the inventors name, Cesar, is Spanish for the Latin, Caesar, but so what? The salad was invented by a Cesar, not Caesar. It's not like it was changed to make it easier to say, or to Americanize it. Anyone have any ideas?
While you're pondering that one, why not head over to my American Foods site where I've posted my version of Caesar salad dressing, and the same recipe that will go into the book. Any thoughts or corrections would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
Crouton Ingredients:
4 cloves garlic, minced very fine
1/2 cup olive oil
1 (8-ounce) loaf French baguette or similar style bread (for best results, use day old bread)
3/4 cup finely grated "real" Parmesan cheese (sold as Parmigiano-Reggiano)
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
pinch of cayenne

CJ, The croutons look AWESOME, I can almost smell them!
I hope I can ask a few questions about the C(a)esar Dressing? (I am just foraging into homemade salad dressings...)
What would the coddled eggs look like if done correctly? Are the whites at all set? (I know you don't use the whites, just curious)
What purpose does the coddling for such a brief time have? Is it just to comfort raw-egg-phobic people? If I am confident that my eggs are A1, can I skip this?

yes, you can skip the coddle, I was just coddling the cookbook readers

- Chris K. said...
If you liked it then you shoulda put a wing on it...
Croutons: instead of paprika or cayenne, try using pimentón. It's like paprika, only with a strong pimp hand.
There's strong evidence that the original dressing did not contain anchovies, so traditionalists may want to omit them. However, it's MUCH better with anchovy.
As for the name: I think it simply got corrupted by word-of-mouth. Plus, as a chef pushing a new salad on your customers, you'd get more mileage out of a reference to a Roman emperor than some hombre in Tijuana, wouldn't you? But that's just conjecture on my part.

lol, "put a wing.." Great comment except for "strong pimp hand" Come on, we run a family blog here! ;-)
- January 18, 2010 at 5:34 PM
All that garlic you wind up not using for the recipe, what do you do with it?
I'm guessing the reason you did you include all the garlic is that it would burn?
It's just so tragic to me to not use up garlic to the full extent of its presence.
Thanks for the great-looking crouton recipe!

I've been looking for a recipe forever. I recall having "Caesar salad" prepared at table side several times - and I miss that! Also steak tartare!!! The croutons rock! Now - forget the coddling, mash those anchovies, and get real, folks!

How long do these keep? I've been making them for months and now my kids prefer them to potatoe chips. Just wondering at room temp how long they might keep?

When The Equine Photographers Network did this assignment last year I wanted to participate but didn't know anyone who fit the bill. I vowed to keep my eyes and ears open to find a rescue organization or individuals who had rescued horses.
Fast forward to January of this year. While cruising Facebook, I discovered that a friend and client, Cathy Setzer, had rescued a Camelot Auction horse. I sent her a message and asked if I could come over and photograph her new horse. She was thrilled, but it took us a while to find a free weekend in which we were both available.
While waiting for our shoot date, she explained to me how she came about adopting her horse. Cathy had been looking to adopt a horse after losing her beloved thoroughbred of many years. She had gone to an auction at UConn and came home with a miniature horse to keep her aged gelding company. Still feeling the urge to adopt another horse, she kept her eyes open at the postings for Camelot in NJ.
When an aged Standardbred "gelding" came up, she felt this was the one and became "his" new owner. He seemed to be in really good health for a horse his age (late 20's) so Cathy was thrilled. Not long after, some better news came her way. It seems the tattoo on her new acquisition's lip had been misread and what she actually had was a 15 year old mare who had some very nice Standardbred bloodlines.
Francesca's real name is Energetica. She was foaled March 19, 1994 , was a pacer and won close to $300,000 in her career. Her sire was Energy Burner who won just over a million in his career. Her dam was Scenic Bid and it looks like she was primarily used as a broodmare because her winnings total just $6000.
I finally was able to meet Francesca in mid March and was surprised at what I saw. She was almost all shed out of her downy soft winter coat. Her summer coat though was a funny, almost yellow color. I thought it was odd and was anxious to see her all shed out.
Cathy explained that when she first arrived, she was a little timid and cowered in her stall. She came around very quickly and is a real love now, especially if you bring treats!
Our second shoot brought a big surprise to me. I almost did not recognize her. Francesca's "yellow" coat had been replaced by her beautiful dark bay coloring. There was no sign of the funny color I had seen just a few months earlier.
Cathy has future plans to fence off a small section of pasture and put up a run in shed. She would like to help out others who adopt and act as a quarantine before horses go to their new homes.
When discussing what I wanted the photographs for, I asked Cathy if she knew anyone else in Connecticut that had adopted an auction horse. She said she did and would contact her to see if she was interested in me coming over. About a week later, I heard from Deb Chisholm, who had adopted a coming four year old buckskin gelding.
Deb had been helping spread the word through Facebook and by donations for Camelot and the other rescue organizations. She had been also keeping her eyes out for that special horse. She had bid on one horse, but he found a home in northern New England. She kept searching and when Aslan came up, she knew he was the one. It seems he had an issue with his right eye, and it did not look good for him, even though he was young. Deb also has vision problems with the same eye, and she just knew they would do great together. While he was in quarantine, she was able to see him for the first time. He came right over to her and put his head on her chest, as if to say "This is my mom!".
When I arrived to photograph them, their bond was evident. He was so well behaved and it was clear he really trusts her. Deb is taking it slow as Aslan is still young and has a lot of maturing to do, but she has ridden him lightly, and he is taking everything in stride.
Deb knows less about Asland's Background but she does know he was born on 5/28/2006 . The original owners name was Sharon Voller in Dubay, North Dakota. To the best of her knowledge, Aslan might have been kept as a stud to be used for breeding, but because of his injury, was gelded in 2008.
Horse auctions had been a part of American culture for a very long time. The fact that a lot of horses are shipped to Canada and Mexico for slaughter is a hard pill to take. I hope someday that this will all go away, but angels such as Cathy and Deb can change their lives, one horse at a time.

The Yellowstone National Park area, including parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is the only place in the continental United States where American bison have continually lived since prehistoric times. Admire them from a distance, and if they approach your car, slow down, roll up the windows, and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime show.
Female bison give birth to one calf every year, usually in April or May, so visit Yellowstone in the spring if you want baby photos.
Especially in late summer, when the berries are ripe, and especially from a distance (trust us, bears get less cute the closer you are to them), the sight of a grizzly in the wild is an unforgettable memory to take home from Yellowstone.
We hope you never get this close to a great white shark! But the alpha predators have been putting on quite a show off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, this summer, including a young shark that was beached and then towed back into the water by brave locals. Your best chance for seeing great whites safely in the wild is to take a seal cruise from Orleans to Chatham, where you'll see a seal colony, salt marshes, beautiful dunes, and maybe sharks hunting for dinner among the seals.
That's a great white shark swimming just under the surface beside a boat off Cape Cod. Researchers track the big fish and tag them to help learn more about their migratory patterns and feeding habits.
Cape Cod's lovely Chatham Lighthouse is one of the many charms that attract visitors each summer.
Nothing says "wilderness" quite like the cry of a wolf, and wilderness is what you get when you visit Isle Royale National Park off Michigan's Upper Peninsula on Lake Superior, where one of America's biggest populations of grey wolves is thriving.
Isle Royale is accessible by ferry from Copper Harbor, Michigan, and you should set aside at least a day or two to explore the island's rocky cliffs and deep green forests on ranger-led hikes where you may be lucky enough to spot a wolf.
Sure, you come to Seattle for culture, great coffee, and seafood. But beautiful Puget Sound can deliver stunning encounters with breathtakingly massive black-and-white orcas.
Book a Puget Sound whale watch or get out on the water in a kayak to see incredible orcas (also known, inaccurately, as "killer whales") up close.
In Denali National Park, Alaska, golden eagles outnumber bald eagles by 70 percent.
Golden eagles, which are migratory, can best be seen in Denali National Park mid-March through September, before they head south for the winter.
The northern elephant seal is one of four types of pinnipeds (or "fin-footed" mammals) commonly found in Southern California's Channel Islands National Park.
The five isolated islands that make up the Channel Islands National Park are home to one of the largest gatherings of marine mammals on the planet, with over 50,000 northern elephant seals alone breeding here each year.
Named for Theodore Roosevelt, father of the American national parks system, the Roosevelt elk is the largest of the North American elk subspecies and a popular sight on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
President Theodore Roosevelt had a direct hand in creating the Mt. Olympus National Monument in 1909 to protect the elk living on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
The coyote thrives in both urban and wilderness areas, especially the peak-filled Rocky Mountain National Park, an hour north of Boulder, Colorado.
Smart, resourceful, and adaptable, the coyote has historically been the target of farmers and ranchers who view them as a threat to livestock.
Weighing in at up to 300 pounds, the mountain goat navigates the rocky terrain of Glacier National Park thanks to hooves that are embedded with excellent traction pads and sharp, slip-preventing dewclaws. The park's visitor center at Logan Pass (along the Continental Divide) is the best place to get close (but not too close) to these uniquely beautiful creatures.
With six mountains over 10,000 feet high, Glacier National Park is a perfect habitat for the shaggy, white mountain goat.
The subtropical wetlands that make up Florida's Everglades National Park are the only environment in the world where alligators (above) and crocodiles live together in harmony.
The alligator (above) has a broader snout than the crocodile.
The rare pronghorn, at home in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, is commonly known as the "pronghorn antelope," although it doesn't technically qualify as one.
Labeled endangered in the 1920s, the pronghorn can reach speeds of up to 60 mph, making it the fastest land mammal in North America.
The highly social prairie dog, found in Badlands National Park, South Dakota, lives in underground colonies, or "towns," that can include as many as 26 family members.
In Texas's Big Bend National Park, the mountain lion is the lord of the manor, a top predator that feasts on deer, javelinas, and other herbivores.
With its striking gold-scale-flecked black body, white chin, bright yellow iris, and blue face, the French angelfish stands out in a crowd in Virgin Islands National Park.
Native to the western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean, the French angelfish usually hangs out around shallow reefs.
Smaller and more tolerant of humans than their grizzly cousins, black bears are the official symbol of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which includes parts of North Carolina and Tennessee.
It's estimated that about 1,500 bears currently live in Great Smoky Mountains National Park; that comes out to about two bears per square mile.

According to our tipster, this picture was snapped just as Hernandez was being kicked out of a billiards bar called Underground in Hermosa Beach. "Other than some cussing, he left with relatively no trouble," adds our tipster. Has Aaron Hernandez ever gone to a bar and not been kicked out?

Many years ago, I had one that I used without a pump. Like was said above, it was slow but it usually worked OK. Worked a bit better when I started using a WortWizard to move the wort through it. But I eventually gave it away. I found that the time it took to clean and sanitize it was at least as much as the time I saved by using a CGFC rather than an IC. I've used the IC ever since. Once I started using a pump with the IC to do recirculated chilling the time it takes to chill came down to about 10-15 min.
Well crap. If it takes you 10-15 min to chill with a CFC, I think I'll stick with my IC. I have my worth down to pitching temp in 15-20. Much faster in the winter. Actually, scary fast. Tap water here is ice cold even in the summer.
Yeah, my well water never gets above about 55-60, even in summer. Much colder in winter.

Carbon Literacy for Communities - Kirriemuir - EVENT POSTPONED
We're very pleased to offer this 2-day Carbon Literacy, accredited by the award winning Carbon Literacy Project in Manchester.

I really liked the taste of this soup, but the meatballs didn't turn out. I think I either need to make them bigger or just use frozen like another reviewer. I also had issues with my potatoes being cooked all the way so definitely cook for a little bit longer. Great tasting soup though!!! We will be making this again.

Loved this recipe! Super tasty. I cooked pasta separately so it didn't soak up all the liquid.
Dec 7, 2009
I have made this recipe several times and it is a yummy soup. I could eat it every day. I usually don't bother to make the meatballs from scratch - I just thaw some frozen ones. I also find that it needs to cook a little longer than the suggested time or the potatoes don't get cooked all the way through. Must be my diced potatoes are bigger than the recipe creators. But this is definitely worth trying!

Munger Road
So... Does anyone have any stories about munger road? I don't have any that are too interesting... But, I know I have heard the "ghost train" at 11:04pm. I have heard it on a number of occasions and have actually been sitting on the tracks when it happened once. Other than that I have seen just some weird stuff around there. Black cat staring at me on Friday the 13th.
I used to live by there so I would drive down it all the time.

Actually, Munger has died down in the last 5 years... The most interesting thing that has happened to us there was the cop yelling at us to leave the woods and ran off before we even got to the edge of the woods because he noticed where he was...

Man I forgot about that place! From what I remember from highschool there was a large inverted cross on the road and when you drove over it your car would stall. And of course the large dogs and the people in large black robes. I always wanted to go but instead I had to hear second hand stories.

The story of Munger Rd is that a school bus full of kids stalled on the train tracks, a train hit the bus killing everyone inside. What you are supposed to do is drive up to those train tracks, put your car in neutral and turn the car off. After a minute a ghost train comes by and the ghost kids come together and push the car forward. I've never done it, but those who have said they've seen some weird shit and handprints on the back of their car.

The story I've heard about Munger Rd is that a boy was hit by a train, and when you go there you're supposed to stop on the tracks, put the car in neutral, shut off engine, roll down all windows and wait. Some have heard someone running around in the rock area, some hear a boy laughing and running up to the car and touching it. If you put baby powder on your bumper your supposed to see small handprints. There's also the story of a phantom ghost train that shows up. I have heard footsteps that get close to the car, but thats it. Back in my high school days my friends and I used to park our cars in the town homes down the road and walk up to the tracks. We would hide and wait for people to pull up and stop on the tracks and scare the living shit out of some kids! It was great. But turns out I did some research and a woman was found raped and murdered there in the 1980's, a man was also found murdered there in the woods area at a different date, you can look it up on the county sherriffs website, I'm not sure of the exact link but I can find it. Creepy stuff, I won't be getting out of my car there anymore.

I just visited Munger Rd. today, and when we were driving between Army Trail Rd. and Stearns Rd. heading north, we saw a huge flying thing (for lack of a better word) fly about 100ft. off of the ground from west to east. It was about 200ft. in front of our car, and it was going pretty fast so we saw it very quickly. It looked as if it was white, and it looked about 10-15 times larger than a bat. Of course, we started freaking out, and I really wanted to know what it was. Does anyone know if there are any large birds in the area; I know there is a large forest preserve to the west of Munger Rd., so perhaps a strange type of bird congregates there???
I should also mention that we were driving through at a bout 10pm.

Munger Road Movie
It's pretty neat that they made a movie about this place. I went to high school and had friends that lived not too far from there. It's a pretty scary place to go late at night and it seems everyone has a friend of a friend whose experienced the hand prints. As for me, the times we tried it nothing happened, but it was scary enough letting my mind race while waiting. The large white bird you saw was an Egret. It's similar to a Blue Heron just a bit smaller. I'm 100% sure that's what you saw considering they are pretty popular in the marshlands and ponds of that area. If anybody has seen the movie I'd be interested in a review. Thanks!

My experience
So in High School my gf at the time told me about the road. So we took a trip out there. 5 people in the car. We drove down the road and back again, when one of the guys in the back seat said that their was a supposed haunted abandon house. So we parked, had to get around a fence, and approached this very spooky run down house. We entered the house, it looked like some kids have partied there previously, broken bottles, broken windows. So we explored the house, we went upstairs in which there were many broken floor boards. The upstairs room floor was in really bad shape, we're very lucky we didn't fall through. When all of a sudden we hear something in the front yard. We all freak out not knowing who it was, or what to do. So we reluctantly went outside and it was another friend meeting up with us and trying to scare us. Well it worked. I am not sure if this house is still there, I doubt it. That was 10 years ago. So no real ghost sightings but a very creepy place to go, but be careful cops love to bust kids out there, and they will arrest you for trespassing. Same with Cuba Rd. My suggestion just don't go out on Halloween, because they have the paddy wagon just waitin' for ya.

Munger Road movie
I won tickets to the premier of Munger Road and saw it last night at Charlestowne 18 in St. Charles. It opens to the public on Thursday 9/29 at midnight. It was very well done. The acting was good, not forced or boring, very relatable characters. Creepy and suspenseful, not gory at all (although I do love a good slasher flick!), and kept you guessing and left you thinking and wondering. Highly recommended.

I used to go down Munger rd when I was in High school... so around 1996 to 1999. Back then Munger rd was a dirt road and the house was still there. Just like a previous post the house was ran down, everything broken, red paint(looks like blood) all over the walls. Kids from years before would go party in there and make it look haunted. But back before the road was paved it was very scary. Dirt road, overgrown trees, grass, looked like a scene out of a haunted house.
I never seen anything haunted but... Like said before the house was abandoned. Its been years and years since anyone lived at that house. And everytime I was at the house there was no power or electricity. Yet one time we pulled near the house and the front porch light was on. Out of the numerous times we have been there we didn't even know it had a porch light or power in the house. We were freaked out and didn't stop. We figured it could of been anything from someone looking to buy, or tear down the house, yet there were no foot prints or tire tracks in the grass.

Me and my friend saw the movie since we live so close to munger road. We got out of the movie, picked up 2 friends and went to munger rd. We put baby powder on the bumper, parked on the rail road tracks and waited. Sure enough, there were 2 sets of hand prints on the bumper! We did it again to make sure and it worked again! It's funny because it didn't work in the movie but does in real life. I will email anyone the picture of the little prints.

Every State seems to have this
"Bus on the tracks, kids killed, handprints on the trunk"
Did this ever really happen anyplace?
It probably happened right as the bus finally found the seven story haunted house after driving for 15 years, the kids all wanted to go through it to get paid for being so brave (Money back plus $75!?
They all made it through the house, got paid, put it all together to buy gas for the bus and then ran out of gas on the tracks just a block from the gas station, they were killed by the train Because they were going to tell the world where that seven storied haunted house was located!
And then their pile of cash evaporated right as the Police were bending over to shovel it up!
The "Seven Story Haunted House" does have children's finger prints on it because they are doomed to an afterlife of moving the house to keep it an urban mystery!
"Push harder kids, you can do it!"
Of course the kids are constantly trying to push the house onto the tracks! (Which in fantastic movie style would mean the end of the urban myth, which one?) BOTH of them!
Listen! Can you hear that tremendous impact Now?
I can.

Switzerland and the Commodities Trade - Taking Stock and Looking Ahead
This factsheet outlines key challenges, knowledge gaps, and research questions centring on Switzerland's role and potential responsibility as a leading commodity hub. It concludes with suggestions of possible avenues for future research and policy.
Switzerland has recently emerged as one of the world's most important hubs in the global trade of commodities. But its rise has been accompanied by concerns about transparency, appropriate regulation, and risks to resource-exporting developing countries. A growing body of evidence points not only to beneficial, but also to harmful effects of commodities trading and extraction on resource-exporting poor countries. These include risks of undiversified economic development, political corruption, environmen- tal damage, and human rights violations.
However, there is a profound lack of scientific research on the role of major commodity hubs like Switzerland, where vital commodities such as oil, metals, and grains are traded and extractive companies are headquartered. Could policy changes in Switzerland make the commodity sector more sustainable and its impact more mutually beneficial?
This factsheet was jointly conducted by the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) of the University of Bern, the World Trade Institute (WTI) of the University of Bern, and the Institute for Business Ethics (IWE) of the University of St. Gallen.
The factsheet was written in the context of the project "Global change and developing countries: why should we care?" managed by the KFPE and the Forum for Climate and Global Change (ProClim).

2007 Award Recipient
Majora Carter
Majora Carter (GSAS '97) was born, raised, and continues to live and work in the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. But that doesn't mean her career has not taken her around the city, the nation and the world in pursuit of resources and ideas to improve the quality of life in her environmentally challenged community.
She founded Sustainable South Bronx in 2001 after having worked with other area groups – where she wrote a $1.25M federal grant to design the South Bronx Greenway. That project has since secured over $20M in funding and is set to begin construction by 2007.
In the meantime she has created riverfront parks, put a cool and green roof demonstration project atop her offices, worked to take down the underused Sheridan Expressway in favor of positive economic development, and successfully implemented the Bronx Environmental Stewardship Training program - seeding her community with a skilled green-collar workforce that has both a personal and economic stake in their urban environment.
All of these accomplishments grow from her notion that one's self image is influenced by their surroundings – so you'd better make sure those surroundings are beautiful! Her vision, drive, and tenacity earned her a 2005 MacArthur Fellowship.

Is Mike about to get Litt up?
On Suits' midseason finale, Louis (Rick Hoffman) discovered that Mike (Patrick J. Adams) did not have a folder in the firm's employee files, and judging by the sizzling new trailer, Louis is going to stop at nothing until he gets to the bottom of our favorite fake lawyer's secret.
